Worth the price and saves on weightI traded in the store brand for this rain cover because this cover is 1/2 the weight and only a few dollars more. When you are hiking long distances every ounce counts and this was an area I could cut weight without sacrificing protection. I was impressed at how small the cover packed down to. An added bonus is the logo is reflective for visibility late at night. Covers any pack very easily dries quickly after use. I had this cover on throughout a 2 hour hard rain and even covered my pack overnight in a moderate rain. The cover provided protection as advertised. I'm glad I upgraded to this pack cover and cut weight.

Needs reinforecementIt's truly an ultralight, but I wish they'd sacrifice just a hair of that status to reinforce the bottom. Mine got shredded right away while backpacking in the Sierras. Granted, it's rough country up there, but a cover needs to be durable on the bottom for the inevitable rest between slogs up the mountain.

Needs reinforcementIt does it's job well and is super compact, but it really needs some reinforcement on the bottom. A backpacker is always going to set their bag down at times, and the bottom of mine got shredded way too quickly. Granted, I was in rough country up in the Sierras where it's all granite, but it should not have gotten cut up so fast. Be careful when you put it down.

Light, small and waterproof!It is very lightweight and packs down to the size of a fist. It is 100% waterproof. I used it in heavy rain and nothing got wet. Easy adjustments with elastic drawstrigs. I have a Volt 75 and the large raincover fits it well with still some room to cover things attached to the pack.

Fantastic product. Fit better than expected.I bought an osprey pack last year. I purchased a generic raincover and was very unimpressed. After receiving my REI dividend, I decided to purchase the osprey brand raincover and could not be happier with its performance. It fit better than expected and was approximately a third of the weight. Plus instead of just being water resistant, it is nearly water proof. After a three hour hike in pouring rain, my pack and its contents were completely dry.

Great rain coverGreat quality rain cover, kept my gear completely dry on a day in heavy rain. Fit perfectly on my fully loaded ospray atmos 65 ag. The seams are all taped really well and the shock cord assures it sinches tight to the bag. Lightweight and packs small

WaterproofPacks up very small. I have an Osprey Aura 65 AG and the large rain cover fits perfectly. Goes on quickly which is helpful in a sudden downpour. Very waterproof and lightweight.

Did the jobBought this for a super rainy backpacking trip, and I should've bought it sooner. It is super easy to use, converts into a tiny carrying pouch. The only thing that I didn't love about it is that it was a struggle to get it over my tent which was strapped to the outside of my pack, a little bit of extra fabric would have been awesome.

Questions & Answers

Do these have clips? My pack has clips, can these attach to the pack via clips?

Asked by: kingponchito

&#8203;This raincover does not have clips. It has a cord lock to cinch down shockcord that rings the perimeter of the cover to tighten it down.

I have the Deuter ACT Lite 60+10 SL Women's pack. Would you recommend the large or the x-large if I were to carry my sleeping bag on the exterior of the pack? &nbsp;Thanks!

Asked by: Tkahike

We recommend the large size will fit your pack and sleeping bag but it may be a little snug depending on how big your sleeping bag is. If your sleeping bag is quite a bit larger than 5 liters or so when compressed down completely, you may want to consider purchasing a size extra-large raincover.
